we borrow to send our children to school
we borrow to fix our roads
we borrow to provide infrastructure
we borrow to pay salaries
we borrow to pay allowances to senators
then we borrow to buy them luxury cars
we borrow to put our presidential airfleet afloat
and to pay landing charges when it parks at London Heathrow for months
we borrow to ‘dash’ poor people money
and to give rice to our little children in schoo;
we borrow to build health centres
But we need to borrow more, to put Phensic inside them
we borrow so that the children of the rich may study abroad
and so that their toddlers may fly first class to dubai on a whim
we borrow to treat our big men’s small illnesses abroad
and then borrow to fly them back for burial when they die
we borrow to sustain our oppressors too
we even borrow to loot and embezzle
wetin we no go borrow for?
dem say debt no be our problem
i agree.
na when time to pay reach we go hear am
in fact, in s short while, we will have to borrow, in order to be able to borrow
na so
(i stopped writing about our borrowing. this rant is just for the two or more new borrowings we want to do. again.)
